Manager Joe Girard said that Teixeira (knee) should be ready to play in a game at some level some time in the next three weeks, Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Teixeira left Friday's game due to this knee issue, but it seems that the Yankees are confident that he will be ready to go fairly soon. It's unclear how long the Yankees will spend easing the first baseman back into game action before rejoining the New York full-time lineup, but that should become clearer once he gets closer to that stage of his rehab process.
